Visteon makes high-definition dashboard displays for instrument clusters, navigation panels, and entertainment systems. They also know the future is autonomous driving, and to help anxious customers get a sense of the technological possibilities, they are developing driving simulators that demonstrate manual vs. autonomous driving conditions.

To be specific, it’s a model of a first year Mustang coupe, known as a 1964 1/2 model. From LEGOLAND Florida Resort where it’s on permanent display: Made out of 194,900 LEGO and DUPLO® bricks, the giant model (named #BrickPony) took approximately 1,200 hours to assemble by a team of veteran Master Builders at LEGO […]

Safety standards matter. The cheapest Nissan sold in Mexico, the Tsuru, and the cheapest Nissan sold in the USA, the Versa, were driven into one another at 40 miles per hour. You don’t want to be in either car, but you definitely don’t want to be in the Tsuru. A car-to-car test between a 2015 […]

Unlike traditional lighters, the SaberLight features an electronic plasma beam that’s both rechargeable and butane-free. This sleek lighter is even approved by TSA, so you’ll never be stuck buying lighters you’ll just have to throw away partially used. For some people, like me, this is a pretty big game-changer. The SaberLight’s beam is actually both hotter and cleaner […]

I think that’s it. There’s nothing about this car that strikes me as any uglier than the design features of previous Lamborghinis, but the car you dreamed of owning when you were 10 will always be the pinnacle of automotive design. (Also, the bands that you listened to around the time you first got laid will always be the pinnacle of popular music.)

It’s probably the ugliest sports car that I have ever seen.
And I don’t just say that as somebody who grew up in Stuttgart learning early in life about the fact that the ultimate sports car ever designed was the original Porsche 911 Carrera ….
Jaguar E-type? Sod off ye Brits!

Designed to appeal to those who think The Dark Avenger was (a) the best version of Batman ever, and (b) a version of Batman at all. (I don’t actually dislike the character or the brutalist style, I just think calling the new character Batman was not good for either.)

Something (tangentially) related that kind of blew my mind when I heard it: a set of the bespoke Michelin tires for the Bugatti Veyron costs $42,000 and might last 10,000 miles if you baby them, and quite literally last only 15 minutes at the car’s top speed. I don’t know if the Lambo’s tires are equivalent, but it reminds me of the sheer maintenance costs of upper echelon consumption, like the multimillion-dollar mansions with tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of monthly staff and cleaning costs.

That said, I like the looks of this mechanical object more than the Pagani Huayra, with its weird mirrors-on-stalks and odd crouching lines. And if I had $100 million…I’d probably buy a really nice Honda. Never been much of a transportation as status person. (Clothes, now…I’d go nuts, but only because bespoke suits are fantastic for someone with a wobbly shape like mine.)

The beautiful thing about this automobile is that it comes with a passenger side bag dispenser… So if you ever have to hitch a ride with one of your narcissistic, garish friends, you can slip a bag over your head and ride anonymously….
